I’ve had artillery and grenade simulators, old dynamite, live 20mm cannon shells and electric blasting caps and a mock IED in a backpack turned in to me over the years. I believe it is only through the grace of God that some nitwit didn’t get me hurt. Hell, we still have folks digging up live Civil War cannon shells and taking them home…

What good are police departments if they are going to be too scared to deal with an old grenade? Why should people pay taxes to them if they are not going to deal with what they are supposed to deal with?

Seems to me that they dealt with it. Professionals are trained not to take stupid chances with things that might kill them because injured/dead police officers aren't any good to anyone. But if you want to play with such things, I'll watch...from a safe distance.
